Forming an acronym is a good strategy to use to remember information in any order that can be remembered. An acronym is a word that is formed from the first letter of each fact to be remembered. It can be a real word or a nonsense word you are able to pronounce.

Here is how to form an acronym.

Write the facts you need to remember.

Underline the first letter of each fact. If there is more than one word in a fact, underline the first letter of only.

Arrange the underlined letters to form an acronym that is a real word or a nonsense word you can pronounce.

For example:“HOMES” is an example of an acronym that is a real word you can use to remember the names of the five Great Lakes: Michigan, Erie, Superior, Ontario, Huron: In HOMES, H is the first letter of Huron and helps you remember that name; O is the first letter of Ontario, and so on.
